Face painting is almost always the first thing children ask for when I arrive. Each one picks what they want to be: a tiger, a butterfly, whichever superhero is current. They leave with a design painted by hand, not a transfer.
How it works
I set up a small station with a mirror in a quieter corner. Children come through during the party without interrupting everything else, I usually pair face painting with games, so those waiting are already occupied.
For large groups I adapt: faster line designs, or arm painting instead of faces. The point is that no child spends the party in a queue watching everyone else play.
Materials
All paints are water-based, hypoallergenic and certified for children’s skin. They wash off with soap and water at the end of the day without staining. If there is a known sensitivity, tell me beforehand and I will adapt.
